Our Message

CoLAB, Ventura County is a non-profit organization formed in 2010 out of frustration with the local regulatory system. We collaborate with partners, public agencies and decision makers to provide sensible solutions for complicated regulatory issues. Through memberships and donations we monitor policy, fund experts in science, engineering and law, write comment letters and testify at public meetings. Join us today and become a part of the CoLAB community.
